Based on the example in Graphics::Primitive, I came up with this: 

use strict;
use warnings;
use Graphics::Primitive;
use Graphics::Color::RGB;
use Graphics::Primitive::Border;
use Graphics::Primitive::Component;
use Graphics::Primitive::Driver::Cairo;

my $c = Graphics::Primitive::Component->new(
    background_color => Graphics::Color::RGB->new(
        red => 1, green => 0, blue => 0
    ),
    width => 500, height => 350,
    border => new Graphics::Primitive::Border->new( width => 5 )
    );

my $driver = Graphics::Primitive::Driver::Cairo->new(format => 'SVG');

$driver->prepare($c);
$driver->finalize($c);
$driver->draw($c);

$driver->write('test.png');

and then went on to install the missing modules using cpan, specifically Graphics::Primitive and Graphics::Primitive::Driver::Cairo.

As a prerequisite, one has to install the cairo graphics library which I cannot do on my machine. Have you gone through this process?
